Harry's Cafe Bar in South Lakeland

Nice place however my croque Monsieur had far too much béchemel sauce and Dijon mustard

Not impressed with the new menu. No specials on the blackboard. Will go elsewhere for lunch in the future.

Unusual place, food was great. Would definitely go back when in the area.

I rang before setting off, making sure they had what I was wanting to buy. The lady on the phone couldn’t have been more helpful, polite and friendly. She offered to save the items I wanted until I arrived. When I did arrive, I noticed she was the only one on the “shop floor” - despite being busy, she treated everyone with a smile and with enthusiasm. Thanks!

We look forward to coming here for lunch every time we come to the lakes. The Croque Madame is delicious! Staff are really friendly... highly recommend.

Had one of the best coffee's ever here, and a great breakfast, we will make sure we visit again on our next trip to the Lakes. Highly reccommended.

Had a lovely wander round with my husband yesterday…great choice and easy to view everything. Will definitely be back.

We've eaten here many times over several years and have always enjoyed it. Today I had Chicken Skewers which sadly didn't taste good. I was worried in case the chicken was a bit off in some way and it put me off my meal. It was also far too salty overpowering the mint and lemon. The Skewers were served with Salad, Flatbread and also Hummus and Baba Ganoush which were both icy cold, very odd! No one came to ask how our meal was whilst we were eating so I raised my concern with the waitress having left most of my chicken. She reported back to us that the kitchen sent their apologies. My husband had Chowder which he ate though said it lacked fish, had a lot of potato and was "gloopier" than when we have previously enjoyed it. We then ordered 2 cakes and 2 coffees as I was still hungry. These were of the usual standard I am pleased to say. Though I had raised my concern no further mention, apology, or gesture to rectify the situation was made by staff as we paid and left.

Lovely find courtesy of Google maps. We needed somewhere to haul in and have some breakfast en route home to Yorkshire. Coffee and a bacon butty did the trick; Perfect well filled tasty bacon in top quality bread bun. Superb cappuccino to wash down. Eclectic place, super staff and top nosh food. A tad expensive (made my Yorkshire heart palpate a bit) this is not a moan it’s fact but you pay a little bit more for quality. Definitely return for their full breakfast one day.

This is the third time we have visited and unfortunately it will be the last. The service was very slow and when the food did eventually come - it definitely didn’t meet expectations for such an expensive price, very salty and not tasty. Staff were cold and unfriendly. Shame.

Yet another brilliant meal at Harry's.

Great little find on our way home from Grizedale. We had lunch (venison burger & haddock chowder), coffees and cakes (tiffin and a GF orange cake). The food was delicious and we had a warm and friendly welcome to what was a very busy cafe, antiques shop and gift shop. We spent a good hour after lunch looking around and bought some lovely gifts for ourselves and to put away for birthdays. If you're passing, I'd highly recommend calling in. As frequent visitors to the Lakes it's firmly on our list to keep returning.

Excellent stop after a walk in the beautiful Lake District and the local area. Really nice shop to browse around with something for everyone at great, realistic prices. Local crafted, items that are great quality and make wonderful gifts. Had a wonderful meal at the award winning Harry’s cafe. The atmosphere is amazing, beautiful restaurant, clean tidy and warm and welcoming. The food is absolutely fantastic. Great selection of high quality food. Staff are helpful, kind, happy to help and friendly. The location is beautiful and so are the shop and cafe, they fit in really well with the surrounding area. We look forward to visiting again soon.

This cafe was the perfect location to catch up with friends. You can't really go wrong with breakfast bap, or cakes so we were extremely happy when our orders arrived. This is part of an antique shop and in a perfect location, not far from Cartmel. The service was decent and is a great place to spend two hours or so chatting with each other.

We have wanted to visit this cafe for some time, and we have finally made it. As we arrived very late morning we chose the cooked breakfast, and we have to say that it was 1st class. Excellent quality products, especially the sausage, an ingredient that isn't always my favourite, and the potato rosti was to die for, with a crisp outer and textured inside. Beautiful presented, great service with happy and friendly staff. We will definitely be back to experience other plates. Thank you to the chef and the team.

Popped in for coffee and scones on our way back home from the Lakes. The scones were delicious and I would venture to say possibly the best in Cumbria. The coffee and service were spot on too.

Great place with a beautiful cafe!

The chocolate dulce de leche cake was divine, as was the lemon drizzle. Must try! The croque madame was amazing, and the coffee hit the spot! The location is stunning and gives an artisan feel, as is the shop on site. A definite hit.

After eating here a few times I feel a excellent review is due, the food is great, not overly priced and is above and beyond any cafe I’ve been to before

Food is good and staff attentivein the Cafe but my God! the prices they charge for the things they sell in the Shop etc are scandelous, £450.00p for a klosh !!!!

Absolute fabulous place. A hidden gem Amazing fresh food and plenty of it Beautiful ambiance : staff very attentive and friendly ; very unique Wow … Thankyou

We had a wonderful breakfast at Harry's Cafe on our visit to the Lakes. The veggie breakfast was delicious combined with the coffee. It always is a pleasure to try out a local cafe. The staff was very friendly too. Would highly recommend if you are staying over in Grange over Sands.

Lovely place to stop for a coffee after a walk

What a lovely place and such amazing food we wanted to express how great it was 😋 Great helpful and friendly staff great place to mooch also 😁

Arrived here for food today before realising the menu wasn’t child friendly. My dad approached a member of staff to let them know and she didn’t really reply I wouldn’t say this restaurant is family friendly at all. As I was walking out both staff members were talking and laughing together. Will not return.

Had a really nice lunch. Reasonably priced and tasty. We had loaded fries, halloumi and chilli chicken bites.

4 of us visited Saturday 20 April and each opted for a different item from the menu, food all freshly done and absolutely delicious, would happily recommend and can’t wait for a return visit to try some other dishes.

Lovely food we often do a pit stop here when we come back from the Cumbrian Coast. Have also bought smaller antiques

Great place full of interesting stuff 👍

Friendly staff and incredibly delicious food. The scone was served warm, and the soup was so flavoursome! Topped off with an interesting wonder around the curiosities of the barn dealers. Definitely worth a trip out if you’re in the Lake District.

We ate the Roasted Tomato Soup and it was amazing! Best I have ever tasted. Served with warm Sourdough. So tasty

Wow, what a find. Full of character and charm. The staff are warm and very welcoming, Louise served us and she is a fantastic asset to your business. We had breakfast which was superb, the fried egg, was perfectly cooked just as I like it. We even got a doggy sausage which was a lovely touch. Will be going back in April.

A ‘meet cute’ in old film parlance is what comes to mind to describe our first visit to Harry’s. An absolute gem, with great ambience, well spaced tables and dog friendly too. Not a huge menu, however we were spoilt for choice, so many unique and tantalising taste combinations. We went for the Haddock Chowder, a taste sensation with lovely flakes of smoked haddock , served with a very tasty, fluffy cheese scone and an amazing spiced cauliflower dish with tahini which packed an amazing taste punch, along with with a side dish of grilled halloumi with coriander and lime dressing. Both were so delicious, the halloumi was the best that either of us had ever tasted. We will definitely be coming back when we are next in the vicinity.

First time back in many years. The floor manager is much better. As is the new chef. Prices are much higher. Full English was very good but should be called Half English as it was 1/2 portion (e.g. 1 egg, 1 piece of toast, 1 tiny portion of potato, et cetera). That said it was worth the price because it was well made. Like many other reviewers, we experienced the same old slow and unwelcoming service. Professionalism and a smile during busy periods would go a long way towards fixing these. Also like others, we received our coffee order when our meal was nearly complete. Still room for improvement, but also much improved.

Having had a very happy time looking at the antiques in Yew Tree Barn, we went for lunch in Harry's Cafe. It did not disappoint: the service was great and our waitress's recommendation of the Hoisin glazed smoked ham hock was spot on. My friends had the Croque monsieur and the Celeriac soup, both of which they said was excellent. It's a lovely spot to shelter from Cumbria's rain, warm, welcoming and just what we needed. We were very well looked after and I intend to go back when I am next in the area.

I don’t chose to be gluten intolerant, it’s a medical condition over which I have no control. Upon arrival I said I would need a gluten free option, I was handed a menu with not a word said. I asked a second waitress, “didn’t know” so I had to ask her to find out. The menu does state gluten free options available. I chose the pork & apricot with chips instead of the gluten containing bread. The insult & discriminatory result was half a bowl of chips compared with the whole bowl my husband was given. Thanks Harry’s Cafe for reducing me to tears this Christmas.🎄🎅🏻

Best Christmas lunch EVER!!!! Every part of the meal was cooked with care and perfectly seasoned and presented. To complement this plate of perfection, it was served by cheerful and thoughtful staff. The whole experience was also exceptional value for money including the wine. Special mention to head chef Gerald and manager Laura. All restaurants should visit to see how quality doesn’t mean huge price tag.

Best Christmas lunch ever. Cooked with great care to taste and presentation. Service with a smile and time to chat despite a full dining room. Small but good and reasonably priced wine list. Special mention to head chef Gerald who never fails to deliver amazingly good food together with his team. Manager Laura excellent customer service skills. Excellent value for money and as a bonus you can do your gift shopping afterwards. Win win

Online menu promises the world, until you arrive and there are 4 things on the menu, none of which my wife can eat or I'd wish to eat. Cold inside. Overpriced (£4.50 for a side of sweet potato fries? Realy?) Lady who sat us was very nice, lady on way out after we decided to go elsewhere gave me and my wife a death glare as we left. Won't come back to try again. Wish i could give 0 stars

£4 to go in a cafe Forget it there are cafes at Grange

£8 to go in for 2. It is after all a shop and cafe. Where else do yo pay to spend money? Very greedy owners

We have been a few times in the past but not for quite a few years. We took some friends staying with us who we thought would enjoy an afternoon with you… what a success! We all thoroughly enjoyed lunch in the cafe, a nice busy atmosphere, the team working really hard, served us delicious food and wine 😀 A good mooch around the shop afterwards, purchases made…. and a look at the reclamation yard outside was so interesting. We will not leave it so long next time, thanks.

We celebrated my 75th birthday with an extraordinarily good lunch at Harry's. Housed on the ground floor of an antiques place, it was warm, friendly and a perfect place to go for lunch - it opens from 10am to 4pm. We had lovely braised lamb with chickpeas - very rich and savoury - with sourdough bread. Only one dessert option, a lovely individual chocolate tart. Good wine by the glass. Great service and a modest bill. We couldn't fault it - absolutely super!

Not impressed. I visit regularly with friends and family. They were running a loyalty scheme where a card was stamped if you spent over £10 . Quite often my expenditure was less unless I visited for lunch. Although they stopped issuing the cards I was assured they would honor cards already in use. Recently I was advised that I was no longer able to complete the card and the member of staff refused to stamp it although my bill was close to £25. Will avoid this venue in future.

What a gem of a find. Totally not what you would expect food wise given its location. Great, simple food done well and served with a friendly smile. Had the vegetarian breakfast - tasty and went back for lunch the next day and had beetroot and goats cheese salad. Others had the meat based dishes. Really impressed just a shame we didnt find it sooner on our holiday

Lovely place, friendly and helpful staff and interesting shop/salvage items. Brill!

We had lunch at Harry's today which we really enjoyed. We had Smoked Haddock Chowder, home made, thick and full of smoked haddock served with lovely bread and local butter, followed by Croque Monsieur and Harry's Rarebit. Both dishes were served with fresh salad and homemade fine cut coleslaw. The service was efficient and friendly. Overall a great experience and we shall return.

Interesting place.. Painfully slow service for 2 coffees which were not very hot.

We first came across Yew Tree Barn for breakfast on our way home after we’d been recommended by the owners of Peony cottage in Newby Bridge where we’d been staying back in May. The breakfast was so good we said we would definitely be calling again in September when we were coming back to Peony Cottage. And so as soon as we arrived back we went straight there for lunch ( homemade Chowder with homemade cheese scone , £9 and the most fantastic sweet potato chips £3.50. Brilliant value and excellent quality. It was so good my wife and I went back and had the same thing again. The staff are also 5* I run a Motorcycle Training Scheme in Sheffield, and have 333 5* out of 333 and so I recognise how important it is to give a good all round service. The shop is absolutely brilliant as regards the architectural stuff and all the mixture of different things they sell. This business is 5* all round. We’ll see you again tomorrow. Thank again. Keep up the great work. Mike/Kathryn Barlow. Mike Barlow, Motorcycle Training, Sheffield. My wife and I have returned to the Lake District this week ( Monday 25/9/23/ after a year away, we went direct to Harry’s Bar on Monday. We had a fantastic meal, staff were very friendly as always. BUT WE LEFT VERY DISAPPOINTED. We were told they were not opening Tuesday & Wednesday this week. BUT THE GREAT NEWS IS WE’LL BE QUEING UP ON THURSDAY MORNING. Congratulations on the award you’ve received. Warm Regards Mike/Kathryn Barlow, Sheffield.

Brilliant breakfast - lovely food and staff were great. Also had the added attraction of looking at antiques after eating.

Called for coffee and cakes when they opened at 10am. We were quickly followed in by the owners of more than ten dogs, many of whom felt it was o.k. to let them wander about. Some were on the seats and even eating of tables. Great of you are a dog - not great if you are interested in the hygiene. The local council should take a look at the situation here. This place has the potential to be satisfactory - but avoid it unless you want to share your table with a dog.

Stunning Food at Harry's Cafe.. Wonderful Service Too.. Plus picked up a couple of super Antique bits along the way.. Excellent Visit 👍

This is just an amazing little place selling all sorts of interesting stuff. They’ve got a reclamation yard with everything from used doors to vintage bathroom furniture. Upstairs has antique furniture, there is a cafe and arts/crafts. The place is dog friendly so a great place to pop in for a look around. Christmas is very special here but the get there early because roadside parking can go on for literally miles. (A bus is provided to get you to and from your car)

Was recommended this cafe by a friend and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Visited three times for lunch over the week we were in the area, both of us had something different each time so feel well qualified to comment on the marvellous selection of food available. Highlights were the loaded chips, croque monsieur, shoulder of lamb and the haddock chowder. Friendly staff and a great surrounding - definitely a must visit and will be back when we’re next in the Lake District.

Wonderful place to look around then eat in Harry’s cafe. The food is fantastic. Staff are friendly and it fits right in with the surroundings. My favourite thing is too get are 2 side dishes. The loaded fries are fantastic highly recommend to all. Great to pop in on your own or with family and friends. Pet friendly as well. Great selection of food.

Great place for food and drink prepared with care service was excellent we both enjoyed the soup,cake and hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows we will be visiting again when where in the lakes soon keep up the good work👍

Went for their once-monthly supper evenings, and it was really good. You preorder, upon booking, from a small choice of interesting dishes on a three-course set price menu. All handled with extreme efficiency. Arrive at 7pm and dinner served at 7.30pm. A great concept. Each...

I was hoping for a nice relaxing visit, however every staff member I encountered was surly and unfriendly. I did not feel welcome and probably won't visit again.

Brilliant helpful knowledgeable staff.thanks.

A mini treasure trove of misc architectural miscellany, furniture, dinner sets + clothes

Harry’s Cafe and Bar goes from strength to strength, and it is always a treat to pop in for coffee and a cake, or - as we did yesterday - for lunch. The halloumi cheese dish that I ordered was delicious, and very moreish, but...

Came here the other day and left disappointed. Had a burger from the special menu and it felt as it was deep fried as it had a hard crust all around. Friends had rarebit and the buttermilk chicken bun, the rarebit looked curdled and the...

Very helpful with my difficult dietary requirements (low Fodmap).

Ate at Harry's, great food, lovely service and lovely surroundings, what more could you ask for.

Lovely birthday lunch here yesterday for my Dads 77th birthday. The staff coped brilliantly when they were short staffed. Food was delicious and arrived very quickly. I’ve always found the staff here to be friendly, professional and polite. Thanks for a lovely lunch:)

Good coffee and cake just a bit chilly in the cafe.

Been here many times and know how busy it can get. Visited about 12.15 with our parents and asked for a table for four. We could see it was busy so not surprised to be asked to wait. A queue quickly built behind us. Eventually...

Lovely place. Good food and good service. Dog friendly with a fireplace and a shop. Food is well presented and the atmosphere is lovely. Good for walkers. Set in a lovely barn and with beautiful lighting is a really lovely place to come and have a lunch. Plenty of parking outside too so if you walk or drive the you will be fine.

Met a friend for lunch at this popular venue. Had a good bowl of soup and sour dough. Unfortunately it had in it a herb I really dislike. I never remember to ask about all the ingredients. As usual it was quite busy but we...

Went for lunch to Yew Tree Barn Cafe today. With it being half term it was very busy. We were lucky to be shown a table. We ordered and the four meals came reasonably quickly, considering the place was full. All the meals were enjoyed,...

We popped in for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Everything freshly cooked and very tasty. The young waiter was extremely friendly and service was great. We have booked for the next Supper night and are looking forward to it

Enjoyed it here but the 4 of us only wanted a toasted tea cakes or similar but they didn't do them which is really odd. We had a coffee and left. A shame really as the place itself is nice and the staff pleasant and...

Visited with a friend for lunch and drinks. Waiter was very polite on arrival and apologised there may be a slight delay of 10 mins due to how busy they were. Our food arrived about 20/30 mins after ordering which was a fair wait but...

Cool salvage and crafts centre. Love the Christmas market.

Had a very lovely time at the Christmas market here, as well as looking around the antiques and restoration area. The blacksmith was so very interesting to chat to and had wonderful items

We have been to this venue on several occasions and each time the food surroundings and service have been fantastic. Today the bacon barms were the best we have ever had. Lashings of bacon in a sourdough roll, absolutely delicious! Cannot praise this cafe bar...

A good pit stop driving south from the lake district. Harry's Cafe was amazing . We ordered the roast ribs and french onion soup. They come with sourdough bread. The french onion was tasty but a little on the salty side. The roast ribs was very tasty and beefy. It was so welcoming on that cold rainy day (2 days ago ) There is other section of the yew tree barn which sells food stuff, household stuff and cards. Lovely warm atmosphere there. Highly recommended

Wonderful breakfast and lovely staff. We intend to return shortly to have a full vegetarian breakfast and my husband lives in hope of a delicious Manchester Tart!

Excellent service and lovely vegetarian sausage and egg bun.

Arrived at 10.20 am for breakfast. In addition to my husband and I, one more couple was in the cafe. We were given a menu advising either sausage or bacon roll available. As there is usually a much wider selection of breakfast dishes, including my...

Interesting objects for sale, nothing for us this time but worth a look. Fantastic cafe, great staff and fabulous food, not your average cafe, almost fine dining quality. Will return if back in the area.

Cafe was lovely, will definitely be back to try out the food! The shop and antiques were also brilliant with a great selection

Very nice food, staff shortages on one visit, but great the second time. Beans weren't amazing.

Lunch. First class food, ambiance and staff.

I had been telling my husband about the cafe and antique shop here and how nice it was, as I had previously visited with friends and enjoyed lunch so when I eventually got him there I was really looking forward to our meal. After being...

Lovely wander around the reclamation yard and antiques shop inside. Watched the Smith making horseshoe hearts which he showed and explained really well to our boys. The cafe was busy, but we found the perfect table for the 4 of us and were not disappointed by the food. I had wild mushroom risotto which was absolutely delicious. Not a scrap of food left from any of us. Will 100% return.

Stopped for a coffee on the way back from the Lake District, ended up with some local beers, handmade soap, and two antique blue plates. Classic.

Arrived today looking forward to coffee and cake, the young lady serving seem a bit abrupt, went inside to order only to be told to move as in the wrong place to order this was literally two foot! She came over very patronising so much so we left immediately

A cafe we’ve visited lots of times and it just gets better! Fresh baked items and a contemporary menu of tasty treats. All set in a quirky place with vintage and reclamation treasures.

Excellent food and service in the Cafe. Worth every penny , definitely come back again. Would give 10 stars if I could .

Incredibly rude young woman barks orders at you to go back and wait at the door when you enter the cafe. A polite sign would do just as good a job and be less offensive if the woman doesn't possess the customer service skills to...

Warm welcome, great service, nice atmosphere, the chowder was recommended to us & it was fantastic, and the homemade cakes WOW! Spoilt for choice! Just what we needed on a wet & windy day. We will definitely be back thanks

Will no visit again .Waiste off time .

Cafe over priced and under quality. Lovely cafe location with good drinks and staff, but the quality of our food (2 specials) was poor.

We’ve visited many times and will continue to visit, the food is fabulous and the staff are friendly. We were seated in the middle on what was a lovely table but when a nicer table became available in the window, the waitress asked if we...

We dropped in for a brew a few days ago, very welcoming staff, could sit outside, nice food and upstairs, wow, do have a good look at the lovely things on offer.

Great food and a friendly welcome

We had a fantastic breakfast here, after a night in Coniston Hall. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the shop itself was lovely. Would definitely recommend!

Great place and lovely cafe. We will return.

Fantastic lunch today, fresh, seasonal fayre cooked with love and passion what's not to like about that plus it represented excellent value for money. Thankyou we'll be back soon.
